Collages on Wood...

I've been working on some new art...going back to my first love which is collage. I'm currently working on four pieces, each 12" x 12". These are done on birch plywood that HB cuts for me.

This one makes me think of a jungle so I've named it...

In the Jungle

Sorry this photo is a bit blurry but I think you get the idea.

Not sure what I'm calling this one...

and I don't think it's finished yet.

I love working on wood. Collage pieces go down so nicely and don't seem to wrinkle as much as on a canvas. Plus I can use my paint pens without any problems. I think from now on it's going to be wood for me!

These are bright and colorful Janet. Powerful art. I like wood also. It just seems to take paint better than canvas. I've never made a collage painting on wood, but I have collaged plain paper on wood to paint over. Have you seen Priti Lisa's latest collage on wood? It's really nice. I love these rich colors you have used. You really have an eye for color.

Janet, these are gorgeous! Our challenge at Art Journal Journey is colours of autumn, it would be great if you would link to us! Thanks for visiting me today, always good to see you! Hugs, Valeriewww.artjournaljourney.blogspot.at
